JUST POSTED ON TAP ONLINE: SCHLESINGER'S "OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS." Historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., who died last night at the age of 89, was, among many other things, a founding sponsor of The American Prospect who contributed several articles to the magazine over the years.

It is reposted on our homepage today. Take a look.
